Abstract

This research explores the use of the story of Prophet Musa and Khidr in Surah Al-Kahfi as an exploratory learning model to enhance students' critical thinking skills and religious understanding. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving various stakeholders, including teachers, students, and administrative staff. The validity of the data was ensured through triangulation and member checking, while thematic analysis was utilized to interpret the findings. The study reveals that the integration of the story into the learning process fosters an interactive environment where students engage in critical reflection and discussion. Through guided inquiry and collaborative learning, students develop their analytical skills as they navigate religious concepts in a meaningful context. This process encourages students to draw connections between their faith and personal experiences, thereby enhancing their critical thinking capabilities. The originality of this research lies in its innovative adaptation of a traditional narrative into a modern educational framework, offering insights into the practical application of Qur'anic stories in classrooms. By focusing on the process of learning rather than solely on outcomes, this study contributes to the discourse on value-based education in Islamic settings and demonstrates the potential of story-based learning to cultivate critical thinkers in contemporary education.

Abstract

Digital da'wah that has grown through social media and various technological platforms has become an effective means of disseminating Islamic values and fostering social awareness among Muslims in Semarang, Central Java. Using a qualitative approach, this study explores the experiences of preachers, social media managers, and da'wah followers to understand how technology-based religious outreach influences their religious practices. The findings reveal that all respondents perceived tangible benefits from digital da'wah. They reported gaining a deeper understanding of Islamic teachings and feeling more motivated to participate in social activities. Approximately 40% of communities adopted short video content as their primary strategy for delivering religious messages, while Instagram emerged as the most frequently used platform, accounting for 38%. Additionally, 60% of the audience expressed greater enthusiasm for engaging in religious social activities promoted through digital channels. Despite these positive outcomes, several challenges persist. A small portion of respondents (20%) noted algorithm-related constraints that limited the reach of their da'wah content. Overall, the study indicates that digital da'wah holds significant potential to strengthen social piety within the community. However, broader impact requires enhanced creativity and adaptability in responding to the rapid development of digital technologies.
